    Miscellaneous

  • Version 1.0 can read version 0.95 saved games, however, version 0.95 is not be able to read saved games created from version 1.0.
  • Issue: there may be a several-second delay after a map is loaded before it is responsive. Internal processing is occuring during this time. This has to do with the Batik library (which displays the map SVG graphics), and will be worked around in a future version if possible.
